Dreamcatcher- Fly High MV Reaction

Overall, a solid song. I do prefer the hard rock, but switching back and forth between pop and hard was pretty cool.
I understand the music is lighter since this is the prequel...and before they got possessed or turned evil. And I knew that it had to be lighter music to get the concept across. I think it's cool that they chose to do that, and are continuing the story of how these "evil/creepy" girls were created. Er- how it all happened.
I'm waiting to hear back from Yunyi about whether I should add to the list or not. I think there is plenty to talk about, but i've been proven wrong in the past when I show CM reactors a video because i'm biasd haha.
I will tweet when I hear back from her!

[@lchow95]

I'm actually glad they went in this direction! Knowing that this is a prequel to the previous two songs, I expected the music to be lighter in nature. If it had been harder and creepier, it wouldn't have made sense (to me at least) for the story narrative. This song still has the Dreamcatcher trademark. If they ever strayed away from the hard rock style, I'd still be excited because as performers, I understand that they'd want to experiment and try to concepts.

[@rusheena]

+lchow95 Agreed. This lighter tone fits the storyline well. So, it doesn't feel like they've completely sacrificed their sound.

[@maxpowers247]

Ya, I think it's less about musical style, and more about staying true to their concept/story, which is what they did; and they did it really well. It allows them to explore various different sounds (like most groups do) while still being "true to themselves"/their style.

[@greenearth4849]

I also really liked it. Babymetal, kawaii metal, pop-rock, or whatever it's called that genre of music. I hope they make more music in that kawaii line, which is better than that genre of teletubbies / cute music. I hope the company will further explore the characters with a song for each transformation, especially the girl / spider because i dint understand what happened in this scene

[@velhesvalden1309]

And wake up is more rock than Fly high.

[@tiagoam4064]

In a interview they said, this song is less intense because it was suppose to show the fans (in the story prespective) how their were and why they turned it nightmares. they even though about having this song and wake up as a double title song, to better show the transformation into nightmares

[@ReacttotheK]

Damn I wish I saw that interview before I saw the MV!

[@tiagoam4064]

ReacttotheK i saw the translated version here 7-dreamers.tumblr.com/post/163477575003/trans-170727-interview-why-girl-group

[@insomnia20422]

they really should have also promoted Wake Up, its my favourite song of Prequel by far!

[@mirhasanoddname]

MDFlight I agree!

[@EdwardNoguera]

I feel like we could understand this "lighter" side because Dreams are not always darkness AND it is explaining their "innocence before possession." Also, your point about gaining popularity with a more pop sound could be true, which is understandable for the summer. What will be important is to see where they go with the next comeback. LOVE YA UMU ^^

[@ReacttotheK]

Yes, PREACH

[@EdwardNoguera]

omg HELLO! =D I wanted to tell you that I found you through the Dreamcatcher reaction videos and I've been here ever since. You and your friends are truly a blessing to the greater Kpop fandom and the world ^^ Keep doing you booboo

[@syxwolf373]

+ReacttotheK Please react to the other side tracks (and the intro bcs it's lit) 😀

[@Selinawindmill]

However I believe that they are making this comeback lighter because they are venturing into a darker one next time.

[@EdwardNoguera]

ARMY with WINGS on FIRE I wouldn't be surprised, especially with the pentagram(?) ending. This was a good time to do the before, now what matters is how they further the story in the next comeback, which should be super dark. Like some have said, they could be going full VIXX lol

[@graytea7571]

I literally cried when you yelled "DAMI SLAY GURL" bc that's what I also say when I see her mARRY ME

[@SyndicateGila]

Nothing beats 'Chase Me' for me but this is good .

[@ReacttotheK]

Same, fam...same

[@blabrechannel8726]

Please listen to their whole album. It sounds so good, you need to check it.

[@introdeuce6912]

ReacttotheK are kevin and the gang will react to it?

[@aimansaari9408]

fly is the best for me,, chase me little bored..and second best goodnight

[@jiadashyi]

Dreamcatcher is actually such strong rookie group that have managed to established their own signature rock sound within months of debut. Even with such a poppy song, they managed to put their own twist to it with their distinct sound, which is extremely impressive to me! Also, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if you could react to knk or snuper, both groups have recently came back, but are still sadly underrated :/Their musical styles are less common in kpop and I would really love to hear your / the musicians opinions!!

[@bencapps219]

'It's like a big, black hole in my heart I'm trapped in the nightmare.' lol

[@animemangaluv13]

Ben Capps my favorite part

[@siuchiho3054]

i want dami make yooheyon this hair.

[@imsuchalesbianforwomen]

Bruh that’s favorite part of dami omg

[@NatyFlorGleek]

The outro is a part of "Sleep walking", one of the side tracks, the rest of the album songs are so awesome as well, "Wake up" is very powerful!

[@theliightseeker]

just a correction- the outro is part of the intro for the album, "Before and After" :))

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

Yaaaaasssss....... I also love "Wake Up". It has that unique guitar feels \(^_^)/

[@NatyFlorGleek]

right! my mistake XD

[@cyborobin]

This song doesn't seem too distant from the rest of their singles; if you listened to J-Pop growing up, this is no different.

[@Backflipgal12]

Christian Psalms I was wondering why it sounded so familiar when I listened to it the other day; It sounds super J-pop-y

[@kimeki95]

Babymetal 👍

[@sionenguyen1629]

It seems like an anime OST or something like that... idky 😂

[@Lexender]

This sounds like it could be a Scandal song, and Scandal is an actual rock band

[@machicommentsection]

What really caught my attention is how you barely blink. And aside from the technical terms you spewed out, my reaction was very much alike. Yeeeeesssss!!!!!

[@CottidaeSEA]

The thing about music that saddens me is that I can buy a song or an album, but the artist/group will benefit very little from it. Yet in the case of many of them, I can't support them more due to my physical location. It's not like I can go to their concerts, and buying merchandise that I don't have space for is just not viable. Although I'd totally frame posters and hang them on the wall if I had the space for it. I currently have 5 guitars, some paintings, a map and some trinkets occupying the free space that I do have.

[@yokonamigaara]

Honestly I think my biggest disappointment with the song was actually the little variation they put into the vocals. Though I'm thrilled Handong and Gahyeon actually got lines (very, very little, but still better than some other songs) I definitely wish the group would get to fully utilize their vocal uniqueness, or even just spice it up a little so the same parts would change/vary as the song goes on. I'm absolutely here for Dami destroying me in like 10 words though 👌

[@hanee4260]

UUUHH THAT POSTER IN THE BAACKK 😍😍😍 umu as always you're amaziiing!

[@Badyl87pl]

" It's like a big black hole in my heart" ;) I really waiting for your reactions :D In this case I understand why they choose more pop sounds than before and I like this song a lot. In melody you can hear this fight between their good side and new evil side. Rest song from the album are even better :D specially Wake up is my favorite. You should check their out if you find a moment ;)

[@ReacttotheK]

Thanks X')

[@wfwbmarbay8521]

yeah wake up kinda reminded me of early era paramore :))

[@maxpowers247]

Definitely heard it as "car" too :p

[@jamesrawlins735]

This song reminds me of an anime theme - Dreamcatcher does this well - the mv is interesting

[@skyes7160]

I love Dreamcatacter so much and I actually liked this comeback a lot more than I thought I would 🙃 Next you should react to LOONA they are a group that is showing each member (12 in total) each month while they are debuting three sub units (one has already been debuted and it's called LOONA 1/3) at the same time. This is a 18 month project under a company called BlackBerry Creative. It started at the end of 2016 in October (I think) and so far 7 girls have been released with their singles. Soon it will be 8 with another upcoming girl named Choerry. The first girl that was released was HeeJin, then HyunJin, HaSeul, YeoJin, Vivi, Kim Lip and JinSoul. HeeJin, HyunJin, HaSeul and Vivi are in LOONA 1/3. I hope you check them out and if I said anything wrong I am just trying to promote my girls 💜. Dreamcatacter and LOONA fighting !💖 Edit- sorry for the long comment

[@AsukaYaoi]

I was happily impressed with this comeback, i was so scared that i would not like it but i'm so glad that didn't happen! I really like this song and the mv was really good. Yes, It was lighter, not so hard rock but still had their signature there. The part that is creepy... i love it! XD

[@Selinawindmill]

I'm already anticipating their next comeback. If you guys haven't notice, at the end of every music video they released there will be a preview of the background music of the song they're promoting next. At the end of Fly High mv, they put on a much more funky (and also spooky) music and I believe that would be their next song.

[@hikaru7712]

THE VIDEO QUALITY OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME UMU

[@edgarsaavedrallado4988]

Dreamcatcher have three types of musical concepts, The first and more "comercial" is this kind of light heavy metal, the second is balads wit a lot of piano and more vocal concept, and the third is a mix of hard rock and the real trap music (the EDM one) and good vocals.

[@zenzainii]

I want all your friend react too 😂 I want to know they reaction 😂

[@nano38824]

i see Dreamcatcher as Babymetal 2.0 and im totally pumped for every damn comeback omg lol

[@lycoris7285]

I love Umu's hair in this! So pretty!

[@Daniel-ch3fj]

DAMN RIGHT SIS I WAS SO HYPED FOR THIS

[@Brad91124]

I would honestly love a full on music analysis from you and/or the "Classical Musicians React" crew

[@moonlitgalaxy5940]

but like omg, this is tons more anime than chase me and good night :D

[@aureapuella7412]

I think the contrast between the cutesy jpop sounds and the dark guitar and verses dami sings are perfect! They tell the story of the girls turning dark over time. It's pretty smart really.

[@sooyoungfanclub]

I *really* love dreamcatcher, they are truly special. I love that they can try out different sounds within the rock/metal genre that fits their storyline. I just hope their fanbase don't abandon them when they try out these different things :// You should definitely listen to their album, the songs sleep-walking and wake up are both incredible in their own ways

[@mdari9012]

Your reaction was the same as mine!!! Love it! 😍❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎

[@ManOfCulture1995]

So glad you reacted to this, can you also react to P.O.P catch you, it's actually a really good song

[@syxwolf373]

Dat poster at the back tho ❤ Please react to all the songs in the album pls. They are all lit!

[@bradyliske9289]

omg your "YEAH DAMI SLAY GIRL!" gets me everytime X'D

[@808Ladypride]

I feel like this is being lighter is similar to what VIXX sorta does. How hardcore Starlights know that just because a VIXX song sounds lighthearted doesn't mean it's not dark. I'm also hoping with Dreamcatcher becoming more popular, especially in Korea, we can see another shift in the girl group trend where they don't always have to be "cutesy" and can experiment more with their sound.

[@hrmtty]

In the context of their nightmare storyline, it makes complete sense that this song has a brighter sound. They could have even gone completely pop/happy for the story, but they chose to maintain their rock and horror concept. That's artistic integrity to me!

[@LeilaSoriano0317]

If you look at the storyline of the three MVs it makes sense that this is much lighter than the last two MVs. This music video is mainly capturing the moments before everything turned bad. They aren't throwing their concept away, they're continuing their concept of darkness and dreams for the storyline. They would be sacrificing themselves for fame if they went cute all of a sudden. Right now they're more popular than they were when they were MINX so their company is not going to change them back to their MINX concept any time soon.

[@bobansak2583]

Appreciate you continually trying to check your biases by "running" songs by Kelvin and Yunyi. Btw @10:27 wtf are you part cat?

[@lambdalady1jw]

This is the first time I'm hearing that people were a bit disappointed. I mean I definitely hear the difference between their debut and their comeback. Their debut was definitely darker and I could see it opening to an action packed angsty anime. Their comeback is on the lighter side but it's not as though they switched genres and their sound, to me, is still heavily rock. I think the way they did the mv was a really good connection to their previous work too, because it's telling a complete story which I appreciate. Still definitely a fan of this group and look forward to hearing more from them!

[@animefean1]

during the whole intro i was like "pls nooo just listen to the song whatever they told you about it is a lie pls just listen and them give a opinion" :D ... i mean yea its a little bit lighter then Chase Me and Good Night but it still sounds soooo Dreamcatcher, it has that unique sound that only they have and tbh im glad that they went with a little bit different sound that just shows fans that they can do diverse songs and still be very talented

[@jorgevillarreal1158]

Love your positive vibe,and you are honest in your opinion,Edward Van Halen is my favorite musician (hence the logo)so I have a sweet spot for heavy melodic riffs,wich brings me to my love of Dreamcatcher style of music.and l listen all genres of music kpop being my recent one(6years of it)anywho l love Dreamcatcher all of their songs are very awesome.and your video reactions are the only ones l watch, l will wait for the next one.peace.

[@sierra03]

you lOOK SO CUTE WHAT

[@aleksandra4072]

My girls are back and they did not disappoint me ♡

[@marcosalingcastre5141]

Dreamcatcher's song structure is similar to j-pop....

[@songainlover]

I just realized....I freaking love your voice. Lol.

[@moonlitgalaxy5940]

*actually the ending is their intro song to the mini-album :)

[@Arjunditra]

keyboard6 check wake up song. Its have same beat

[@jooeunkim9300]

Even though Fly High is not as "Dark" and "Metal Rock" as Good Night and Chase Me, it is still pretty "Pop Rock", and if you stop to listen to all their mini album (Like I did, I am a fan) you would be able to notice that they still have maintained their "Musical integrity", There is a song on the album entitled "Wake up" (If I am not mistaken) that is the same style as the singles before this album. Furthermore, each one of their songs on this mini album, has a different style, it shows us that they can do pretty much every type of song that they feel like doing. I find really cool that we are able to see somethings from Chase Me and Good Night, just like Siyeon's Bunny stuffed animal from Chase Me and Dami reading Good Night's Books. On my point of view, this MV is Lighter than the Mvs before it because it was supposed to explain what happened to them. (I am sorry for my English, it is not my mother language)

[@user-wv4gx4os1g]

Amazing reaction.!!

[@yourlonglostwig7033]

"YEAAH DAMI! SLAY GURL! 🔥" How every Dami biased fan reacts. 😂 (a.k.a me)

[@nelvinvenancio2711]

I feel happy when Umu thumbs up during her reaction yeyy! 👍👍

[@payton_-_-_I]

What I see that's going on here is that their house was pure but is slowly getting tainted by evil that's why the spider got in and how the butterflies disappeared around one of the members and why gahyoon was tied up to the bed because she could either be the purest thus wanting to keep her safe or the evil that started this. That's also why the do the satanic star at the end.

[@UtaNngkrngDpanKompi]

my favourite album, the whole song in the album is so legit

[@blabrechannel8726]

You need to listen to their whole album because their album is amazing!!!

[@juls760]

Speaking of groups/bands that stay true to their sound, maybe give a listen to Hyukoh? They are huge in Korea, but are relatively unknown on YT (maybe because they are pretty slow with their releases, idk). They are actually a proper band and were very popular even before signing up with a company as an indie band, IU is huge fan of their music and often does collabs with their vocalist Oh Hyuk, her latest being 'Can’t Love You Anymore'. Oh Hyuk also has done many collabs with Primary who is also one of the most prominent musicians in SK, my personal favourites are 'Bawling' and 'Gondry' (a tribute to Michel Gondry). Aaaand they did a pretty neat cover of Chet Faker's 'Gold' this summer. Even if you end up not reacting to them on YT I think that you should check them out, because there is a world outside of pop and idol culture and I think it would be nice if more people were exposed to it.

[@harucchi18]

"YES DAMIIII SLAY GIRL!!" actually I'm scream too when that Dami part 😂

Hey Umu! I met you @ kcon (i was the asian that you saw outside the convention center that first day). I was wondering who your Dreamcatcher bias was!

[@Mooimapony]

You should check out one of their performances of this if you havent! The ending choreo with Dami's part is super cool

[@livelovelife32]

U need to check out the album. The song is even better without the distraction of mv. Would love a review of the album if you have the time.

[@ReacttotheK]

I plan on checking out the album...if I end up having things to talk about I'll post but if I don't I won't :P

[@blexxed1016]

their song Sleep-walking is really cool

[@rafaelaquevedo7729]

Actually i've got a theory. This is a prequel for the other two, so they are basically telling a story. I'm talking this is a cinema student, and i thinking i even understand why this song is lighter. Here's the thing, in the other two is obvious that they are witches, an there is this guy chasing them. I thinking this song is more about the story before that. Did you guy see the book? Remember the book they lost in the and of Good Night music video? That book (i thinking) is their book of spells, and, as usual, the book of spell os a witch is connected to the start of they story. I've got to look at the lyrics, but i think this song and this video are talking about how they became witches. They were normal girls at the begging and changed. This type of story is still on their concept and, because it's a little bit lighter, fits in the normal summer concept.

[@SnowYukiYap]

You gotta react to their live stage, their choreography is nice !

[@StrayKids_et_al]

I don't like the title much, not because of the poppy sound but because of the demon voice rap overlays. The flow is really odd and they stand out. BUT that being said the entire album is one of the best mini's I've heard in years.
